Guest s.shaw78 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Ok so one problem sorted and another one arrives someone has bypassed the heating in the car probably down to the heater matrix can i ask does the whole dash need to be removed to get this out is it a hard job and how many hours should it take to do... also is there anyway to know at the scrap yard if the heater matrix will work or is it a case of buy and try.

escortcabrioletclub Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 asuming you dont have over heating problems and all the hoses get hot and the temp gage is ok then yes did you not say the pipes had been played with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest s.shaw78 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 yes the pipes going from engine to the heater matrix itself have been by passed a piece of plastc has been used to connect the 2 pipes together rather than them being connected the the matrix, got a new one this morning going to fit it this weekend as long as the weather holds off.
